Ok....here is what is happening......my 97 taurus LX wagon started misfiring every once-in-a-while.......had it checked out...no error codes showed put for about a month.
The miss firing continued to get worse....had it checked at the dealership....finallly got an error code on the 2nd cylinder.....checked plug...not problem....reseated the plug and wire.....the misfireing continued. The dealership mechanic checked the plug wires for burnt spots.....none found.
After that episode the car decided not to start....after driving it all day......I let the car sit for a day and the next morning it started right up.
Then this morning it wouldn't start again......didn't want to pay a tow charge to get it to the dealership so I pushed it the two blocks to the dealership (it was down hill all the way)
It rolled into the driveway in front of the service bays and got the mechanic to look at it....it wouldn't start for him either (see I am not crazy, I said)
He looked it over for 30 min......couldn't get it to start......had a few people help him push it into the service bay.....attached the computerr to it....and no fault code.
Tried to start it....and guess what....you got it, it started right up.
HAS ANYONE HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE????
WHAT THE ^%&% IS GOING ON????
HELP!!!!!!
